Government building releveled using Teretek

Governments and councils are responsible for a broad range of public buildings, hospitals, schools and educational institutions as well as public infrastructure such as roads, bridges underground pipes and other public utilities.

Mainmark has a range of solutions to help government and councils remediate and maintain public buildings and infrastructure requiring ground improvement, void filling, structural monitoring and even liquefaction mitigation.

Our ground strengthening and foundation improvement solutions help address weak and unstable ground which can cause serious structural damage.

Mainmark can:

	Lift buildings and minimise foundation movement using our proprietary Teretek resin injection solution, a viable and cost effective alternative to traditional and expensive underpinning Our JOG Computer-Controlled Grouting can also be used to remediate large complex structures, such as multi-storey facilities, using computer-controlled cement grout injection.
	Fill large holes and large voids under buildings and public infrastruture, which can accelerate ground subsidence, using Terefil, our advanced engineered lightweight cementitious fill.
	Achieve ground improvement to strengthen the ground beneath sinking buildings, lift structures and remediate earthquake liquefaction without compromising structural integrity.
	Conduct slab lift, slab raising and slab re-levelling to remove trip hazards and water ponding.
	Strengthen and stabilise weak ground to make public buildings, footpaths and traffic infrastructure safer by addressing structural damage caused by subsidence or ground movement, and to prevent further damage.
	Provide anti-corrosion and waterproof coatings to public infrastructure such as pipes, water tanks and sewerage treatment plants.

Glen Innes Severn Council

A school in Christchurch, New Zealand required ground remediation to address earthquake liquefaction and subsidence following the Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011.

Teretek® Delivers Ground Stabilisation Solution for Hard to Reach Foundations at Melbourne Hospital Campus

The Royal Melbourne Hospital’s Building 26 showed signs of structural movement and differential settlement. Mainmark was approached to treat the underlying subsidence before commencement of renovations to the hospital. Teretek was identified as an ideal solution due to its non-invasive, cost effective and efficient process compared with traditional concrete underpinning which would require extensive excavation, creating major disruption to the hospital’s daily operations.
